Yeah, I was the one asking about a toon (even bought the beginings of one) but my wife thought about it a lot and has decided that while she likes them (our friends have a couple) its not what she would really like. We looked at a crusier (22') and it mostly looked, cramped is the word I would use.
I know there are all sorts of considerations but my basic ones are.
She and I can spend a comfortable weekend once or twice a month at the lake.
Must have a passenger rating of 8 or more for family "things".
Maybe take a week or two trip once a year by water.
Should be capable of comfortable crusing speed without working the engine(s) to death. Prefer gasoline.
So with these things in mind, what is a realistic size and configuration do you think I should be looking at? Suggestions on manufactures?
I don't mind an older boat in need of work/restoration.

. A boat like that would probably be at least in the mid twenties length-wise. If you don't mind a small project you can probably find a pretty good deal in this economy. Good luck.
